[quote=Anonymous]Agree it really depends, what are her scores on PSAT like? How difficult is her courseload?  If NMSF even if you believe "middling" in terms of grades will  be looking at different places than if scores in the 2100 or lower range.  Someone with SATs below 2100 and no hooks isn't going to getting into Duke or any other top 10-20 school most likely.  One of our kids was probably top 10% of class, NMF and ended up at top Ivy EA, other was more like top 25% also NMSF and was admitted to a top 3 SLAC ED.

Kids in their schools that seemed more middle of the pack in terms of classes taken and who applied early decision aspirationally (and clearly applying ED to these sort of schools helped according to counselors since the schools are so fixated on the percentage of kids admitted who attend) often were applying to and sometimes admitted to included Wash U, Emory, Tulane, Hopkins, Wesleyan, Tufts, Northwestern, Davidson, Claremont-McKenna, Reed, Oberlin, Kenyon, Carlton, other midwestern SLACs, Wake Forest to name a few.
